What is Shave Ice?
“Shave Ice” or “Hawaiian Shave Ice” (not Shaved Ice with a “D”) is a fluffy and snow-like, sweet, cool and refreshing Hawaiian treat. Ice is finely shaved and then syrups are poured and absorbed into the soft snow. Whereas sno-cones are ground up ice cubes that have a coarse and “crunchy” texture.
Hawaiian shave ice is traditionally served with a scoop of ice cream on the bottom, a drizzle of a sweetened condensed milk mixture called “snow cap”, topped with fresh, soft and chewy homemade pieces of mochi.
About Us
Brandt Family on Haleakala
Auntie Viv’s is a woman-owned, family run business where everyone is welcomed and treated like ohana (family)!
Vivian, her husband Bill and their two young keiki’s, daughters Chloe and Ella, visited Maui for the first time in 2017. Vivian fell in love at “first taste” with her very first Hawaiian shave ice. How she describes this phenomenon: “It literally was like a deliciously flavored, puffy cloud that instantly melted in my mouth and tasted like liquid gold.” Vivian says, “It was the best epicurean experience ever.”
Upon returning to the mainland, Vivian had her sights set on opening her own shave ice business. Vivian didn’t want to serve the typical crunchy, icy, sno-cone, with gross high fructose corn syrups and artificially flavored/colored syrups. Auntie Viv’s prides itself in their handcrafted syrups that are made with real, natural, ingredients and 100% pure cane sugar.
Shortly after starting the business, Vivian added in her now famous Auntie Viv’s Artisan Furikake Snack Mix and Auntie Viv’s Artisan Seasoning.

HIGHLY recommend for any event you're throwing. They add that magical touch, and bring in that aloha spirit to any of your gatherings. Viv and team are so easy to work with: they're flexible, communicative, and really partner with you to achieve what you want.... Not to mention, they have killer shave ice!! Viv brought a little taste of the island back to the mainland, and we are here for it! Thanks Auntie Viv's!

7/18/2024 - My 6 year old loves shaved ice and we wanted to include a shaved ice service on his birthday. We agreed with another vendor and 2 weeks before the event the other vendor cancelled on us. That's when we contacted Vivian from Aunty Viv and from there on our experience was 5 star! The communication was friendly and easy, the menu was delicious, the full service was exactly what we wanted for children. We were blown away on the day of the event. The shaved ice was heaven! It was so delicious, it was even better than what we had eaten in Hawaii. Our guests absolutely loved it and our son was over the moon! Thank you Vivian and team. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would! Highly highly recommend!

6/30/2024 - Having Auntie Viv's at our end of the year meeting was a special treat and great way to say "thank you" to all of the educators who work with our students every day. The shaved ice was perfect, but the real selling point are the house made syrups. DELICIOUS in all the right ways. This treat will transport you right to the island shores. Vivian creates a little Hawaiian aloha wherever she sets up. A much-needed refreshment.
Vivian is incredibly easy to work with. I would recommend her for any event. She is very accommodating and versatile. Srvea S.
5/23/2024 - We hired Auntie Viv's to cater shave ice to our Hawaiian themed birthday party and she absolutely knocked it out of the park. The shave ice was incredible, and our guests were so impressed with the professional setup. Communicating with Vivian is a breeze and so easy to work with. I absolutely recommend you work with this business or eat their yummy shave ice!!

3/12/2024 - Came for the shave ice, stayed for the furikake!! The savory furikake snack mix that Viv and family create is the most addictive and delicious snack. When we visit we almost always stop to grab a bag (or two) and my family regularly buys us bags as gifts because they know how much we love it. Pro tip- buy the furikake seasoning and add it to EVERYTHING!
